A lot of Facebook pages fans aren't even from the same country. http://www.buyfacebookfansreviews.com says that a lot of companies that help businesses get Facebook fans are from India and other countries!

This seems intuitive because in today's world where people are constantly mobile, following a local business on Facebook helps us feel connected to places we've been.
I assume the majority of the fans who don't live in the location, probably did and have some nostalgia.

Having non-local Facebook fans is a benefit for cities trying to attract tourism--since people who spend less time in the place are more likely to be "missing" the business, tourists who visit these businesses with also become fans, etc. helping influence of the business spread.

FB "Like" counts are inherently flawed. There are hundreds if not thousands of small biz owners that have been stuck with multiple pages when FB changed them over to business pages from fan pages. The "Likes" are not applied from the "Like" button on a website in any way that the business owner can track. In addition, "likes" are assigned across multiple pages that FB won't delete regrdless of how often they are asked to do so.
They also severely limit buisness categorization, so if locals are looking on FB for a business that FB has not categorized, such as a design firm, the locals won't find it.Their ad team has no answers.
FB has made a mess out of this, yet no one is calling them on it publicly.
Why?

I wouldn't be surprised if facebrokerz is owned by FB. Otherwise I can't see why FB wouldn't be suing to shut them down as they are totally negating the reason for anyone to pay for FB ads.

I precisely needed to appreciate you all over again. I am not sure what I would've followed in the absence of these creative ideas shared by you over that problem. Completely was a real distressing problem in my position, but taking a look at your specialised form you solved that took me to weep over happiness. Extremely grateful for this advice and believe you really know what a powerful job you are getting into instructing many others using a site. Most probably you haven't got to know all of us.
